ABSTRACT:
A portable, self-contained, hand held fluorescent lamp and lamp holder testing device having a housing provided with a receptacle in one side thereof for receiving a pair of tube pins disposed at one end of a fluorescent lamp. A pair of prongs extend from an opposing side of the housing for insertion into a socket provided at one end of a lamp holder. Internally of the housing, there are provided a pair of spaced contact members for contacting the tube pins when inserted into the receptacle. A source of energy and an indicator member are serially connected to the contact members. The prongs are connected in series to the indicator member. Insertion of the tube pins completes the series circuit connection to provide an indication from the indicator member that one end of the fluorescent lamp is proper. The opposite end of the fluorescent lamp can similarly be tested. Likewise, the lamp holder is tested by insertion of the prongs into each socket, one socket at a time, to determine the operability of the lamp holder.
